EAST CAMPUS / MIT GATEWAY Alternative Approaches

Prepared by The Design Committee July 19. 2013 EAST CAMPUS / MIT GATEWAY Alternative Approaches

This report lays out strategic options for design and program of the MIT East Campus and a new Gateway to the institute in the Kendall Square area. Its purpose is to define principles for the planning and design of this critical area of the campus, in light of the recent up-zoning approval given to MIT by the City of Cambridge, and the intention of the MIT Investment Management Company (MITIMCO) to construct approximately 900,000 sq ft of commercial office and laboratory space on the campus south of Main Street. The report examines alternative approaches to achieving this amount of development that will also result in a high quality campus environment, mesh with the broader public realm of Kendall Square and the Charles River, and serve student and future academic needs.

This brief report and design study was prepared by a Design Committee of architecture, urban design, and planning faculty in the School of Architecture and Planning. The Design Committee was appointed by Provost Chris Kaiser and Executive Vice President and Treasurer Israel Ruiz following a recommendation of the faculty Task Force on Commu- nity Engagement in 2030 Planning on Development of MIT-Owned Property in Kendall Square. The Task Force was charged by the provost in 2012 with reviewing the Kendall Square project, and recommending whether to go forward. In the process, the Task Force raised concerns about the conceptual diagram put forth for development of the area, which had been prepared by MITIMCO. The Task Force agreed to “support moving forward with MIT’s submission of Design Committee the rezoning petition provided that … A comprehensive urban design plan for East Campus is conducted and com- Adèle Santos (Chair), J.

The plan needs to Nader Tehrani, Alexander d’Hooghe, Dennis Frenchman, consider alternatives to the current MITIMCo diagram for commercial building sites, floor plates, program, heights, and Anton Garcia-Abril, Carlo Ratti scale of development ...” guided by a set of design principles articulated by the Task Force.

East Campus / MIT Gateway - Alternative Approaches 1 Design Principles

The work of the Design Committee is aimed at opening up alternative approaches to the design and program- nent node of activity, equivalent to the function of MIT’s Lobby 7, containing destinations relevant to ming for East Campus and the MIT Gateway. It is also intended to inform the work of a subsequent campus the MIT community and helpful to visitors (e.g. an information office) linked to clearly recognizable planning consultant, which MIT will retain in the fall of 2013 to prepared a formal East Campus / MIT Gateway spaces that support learning and research (e.g. laboratories, studios, classrooms, study and meet- Plan. ing spaces accessible to the public). It should connect MIT directly to Kendall Square with minimal physical barriers or gaps. The gateway should be welcoming to residents and visitors.

East Campus / MIT Gateway - Alternative Approaches 4 PROJECT GOALS

East Campus / MIT Gateway - Alternative Approaches 5 1. Enhanced Innovation Cluster

MIT’s success in innovation is dependent on external interactions with the extended academic and business world and collaborations within

the Institute itself. The Institute has helped attract to land adjacent to campus a multitude of life-science and technology companies, ranging from start- up, venture backed firms to well established giants such as Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Takeda, Schlumberger, Microsoft, and Google. This fertile environment has enhanced research collaboration both within the Institute and between the Institute and industry, resulting in the creation of a highly productive discovery environment, a powerful economic engine, an extremely effective talent magnet, and one of the world’s most highly recognized life-science and technology centers. All of this helps MIT recruit and retain the best

faculty, students, and staff. MIT’s Kendall Square Initiative should provide new space to allow this powerful academic-industry innovation dynamic to grow.

Provide space for both new innovative academic initiatives and commercial enterprises.

East Campus / MIT Gateway - Alternative Approaches 6 2. Lively Urban Environment

Despite the excitement of the creative intellectual developments in and around Kendall Square, the physical environment is still not reflective of a world-class institution, leading innovation cluster, or

vibrant city square. Kendall Square has only a budding sense of excitement and identity and lacks fundamental ame-

nities such as basic retail services and places to entertain, meet and assemble that are

critical to a successful urban interactive place.

Create a destination gathering place with amenities and services and active streetscapes.

East Campus / MIT Gateway - Alternative Approaches 7 3. Vibrant Gateway

The Infinite Corridor, the major pedestrian thoroughfare through campus, ends well before Kendall Square and leaves the Sloan School disconnected. The revitalization of Ken-

dall Square provides an opportunity to extend the Infinite Corridor and establish a major new

gateway at the east end of the campus where it meets the central business district and the neighboring community.

Establish a vibrant gateway and connective link between the Institute, the central business district, and the Cambridge community.

East Campus / MIT Gateway - Alternative Approaches 8 4. Feasible Development

Achieving the vision of a revitalized Kendall Square will require a significant financial investment by MIT. However, to ensure that MIT does not need to divert precious academ-

ic resources from critical Institute initiatives such as faculty research and student scholarships, the plan should be economically

self-supporting in addition to being viable under market, physical, and legal/political considerations. Furthermore, to ensure city support, the plan should

generate increased tax payments to the City of Cambridge to provide funds to help it achieve its policy objectives, such as maintaining a low residential tax, creating more affordable housing units, and improving the school system.

Create an overall development plan that is economically viable
